CountryMusicRocks (CMR): Tell us a little about your new collection of music in 2021, what can fans expect?
Dave Herrera: I have a variety of new music that I will be releasing in 2021. It will feature everything including poetic country, party country, dance country, and country-rock. I am just all over the board, you know!
You can listen to “Visiting Nashville”, “Boys Were Back In Town,” and
“Hollywood Sign” on streaming platforms now!
CMR: Even though 2021 is not completely certain quite yet, what are some of your career goals throughout the year?
Dave Herrera: I am working to put new music on streaming platforms for people to hear. We hope to play some live shows if we are able to safely do so!
CMR: In addition to performing, what else did you miss most not being able to be out on the road last year during 2020?
Dave Herrera: I’ve been missing everything that I took for granted – even something like sitting down at the movie theater with a bucket of popcorn!
CMR: If everything goes as planned, and performing/touring resumes for this year, how would you best describe your shows/set for 2021?
Dave Herrera: I can tell you our shows will be high energy, loud, entertaining, and fun! We want people to enjoy the moment.
CMR: As fans continue to get to know you, what is one thing you would like to convey to fans about you and your music?
Dave Herrera: I want people to know that we have a great time writing about life experiences! I write songs about both fun and serious moments and some songs for a party atmosphere. Also, each song has a strong meaning to me, and for some songs, I further explain the meaning with my music videos!
CMR: Even though CRS is quite a bit different this year, we are still celebrating country radio which is such a staple to everyone in the country music community. What is one of your all time favorite country songs that you just can’t get enough of country radio?
Dave Herrera: Country Radio is definitely a staple in the community, and we need to all work together to keep the music rolling! I would say I can’t get enough of Little Big Town’s new track “Wine Beer Whiskey.”
“In My Own Words” | Fast, Fun Facts with Dave Herrera:
Favorite Food to Indulge On While On The Road: Eating on the road is one of my favorites as there are always new places to try! However, I really indulge with Taco Bell; it’s usually quick, convenient, and consistent!
Go-To Drink of Choice: My go-drink is for sure a cold Pepsi! I pair that with some peanut M&M’s!
Favorite TV Series: I can’t stop watching Ozark! When there is a new season, we will blow through the entire season in a couple of days! I always thought it would be cool to have a drink with the writers of Ozark. They are so creative, and I wonder what experiences the writers have been through.
Dream Collaboration: I’d say Willie Nelson for sure! I would love to just chill and write a song with him – I have a few ideas too!
Never Have I Ever: I have never been sky diving and I don’t think I ever will – unless it was with a Navy Seal or Army Rangers jump team!
Favorite Career Moment (So Far): My favorite moment was when my mom watched my new docu-series “The Shit Show” (which is now on YouTube) and she couldn’t stop laughing, best moment ever.
